Abstract

Cilj ovog diplomskog rada je ispitati ulogu prekomjernog korištenja društvenih mreža u pojavi
simptoma poremećaja hranjenja. Rad je izrađen u sklopu projekta „Testiranje 5c modela
pozitivnog razvoja mladih: tradicionalno i digitalno mjerenje (P.R.O.T.E.C.T.) čiji je nositelj
Edukacijsko-rehabilitacijski fakultet, koji u suradnji sa partnerskim ustanovama iz cijele
Republike Hrvatske provodi veliko istraživanje pozitivnog razvoja mladih te prati cijelu jednu
generaciju srednjoškolaca. Sa svrhom ispitivanja utjecaja prekomjernog korištenja društvenih
mreža na pojavu simptoma poremećaja hranjenja, u ovom radu koristili su se Skala
problematičnog korištenja društvenih mreža (prilagođena prema Jovičić Burić i sur., 2021) te
The SCOFF upitnik (Morgan i sur. 1999). Za potrebe ovog diplomskog rada, izdvojen je uzorak
od 300 srednjoškolaca iz Varaždinske županije, od kojih je 151 muškog roda, 141 ženskog roda
te 8 ispitanika koji se nisu htjeli izjasniti o svojem rodu. Rezultati su pokazali da se najveći broj
ispitanika na uzorku, njih 46,0% rijetko prekomjerno koriste društvene mreže, a 16,5%
ispitanika je u riziku od poremećaja hranjenja. Gledajući rodne razlike kod broja simptoma
poremećaja hranjenja, dobivena je statistički značajnu povezanost između roda i rizika od
pojave simptoma poremećaja hranjenja. Muški ispitanici najvećim brojem nemaju niti jedan
simptom poremećaja hranjenja, dok su kod ženskih ispitanice češće prisutna dva ili tri simptoma
poremećaja hranjenja. Nadalje, dobiveno je da viši rezultat prekomjerne uporabe društvenih
mreža, značajno korelira s većim brojem simptoma poremećaja hranjenja. Uvidom u rezultate
ovog diplomskog rada, naglašava se važnost razumijevanja utjecaja društvenih mreža na
cjelokupno fizičko i mentalno zdravlje adolescenata te otvara vrata za daljnja istraživanja u
ovom području, koja su vrlo potrebna zbog sve većih broja ovih fenomena.

Abstract (english)

The aim of this thesis is to examine the role of excessive social media use in the development
of eating disorder symptoms. The thesis is part of the project "Testing the 5C model of positive
youth development: traditional and digital measurement (P.R.O.T.E.C.T.)," led by the Faculty
of Education and Rehabilitation Sciences, which, in cooperation with partner institutions from
across the Republic of Croatia, conducts a large-scale study on the positive development of
youth, tracking an entire generation of high school students. To examine the influence of
excessive social media use on the occurrence of eating disorder symptoms, this thesis utilized
the Problematic Social Media Use Scale (adapted from Jovičić Burić et al., 2021) and the
SCOFF questionnaire (Morgan et al., 1999). For the purposes of this thesis, a sample of 300
high school students from Varaždin County was selected, consisting of 151 males, 141 females,
and 8 respondents who chose not to disclose their gender. The results showed that the majority
of respondents, 46.0%, rarely excessively use social media, while 16.5% of respondents are at
risk of eating disorders. Examining gender differences in the number of eating disorder
symptoms revealed a statistically significant correlation between gender and the risk of
developing eating disorder symptoms. Most male respondents exhibited no symptoms of eating
disorders, whereas female respondents more frequently exhibited two or three symptoms.
Furthermore, it was found that higher scores on excessive social media use significantly
correlated with a greater number of eating disorder symptoms. Based on the results of this
thesis, the importance of understanding the impact of social media on the overall physical and
mental health of adolescents is emphasized, and it opens the door for further research in this
area, which is highly necessary due to the increasing prevalence of these phenomena.
